基于AZ5214光刻胶激光直写与热回流的高质量微透镜阵列制备

    Fabrication of high quality microlens arrays based on AZ5214 photoresist by laser direct writing and thermal reflow

    • 摘要: 微透镜阵列在成像、显示和微光学等方面都有一定应用,但在制备过程中,要同时兼顾填充因子、尺寸均匀性和形貌一致性并不容易。以AZ5214正性光刻胶为材料,研究了在石英玻璃基底上制备球冠状微透镜阵列的方法。工艺上采用紫外激光直写与热回流相结合的方式,并对旋涂、前烘、曝光、显影和热回流等关键环节进行了优化。结果表明,所得微透镜阵列周期约为16.5 μm,平均直径约为15 μm,平均高度约为2.82 μm,曲率半径约为11.6 μm。所制备结构表面较光滑、形貌较规整,体积平均收缩率约为8.98%,直径和高度的最大相对偏差分别约为1.7%和1.5%。上述结果表明,在本文工艺参数下,紫外激光直写与热回流相结合可实现球冠状微透镜阵列的制备。

       

      Abstract: Microlens arrays (MLAs) are widely used in imaging, display, and micro-optical applications. However, it remains challenging to achieve a high fill factor together with good dimensional uniformity and morphological consistency during fabrication. In this study, dome-shaped MLAs were fabricated on quartz substrates using AZ5214 positive photoresist. The process combined ultraviolet (UV) laser direct writing with thermal reflow, and the key steps, including spin coating, prebaking, exposure, development, and thermal reflow, were optimized. The results show that the fabricated MLAs have a period of about 16.5 μm, an average diameter of about 15.1 μm, an average height of about 2.82 μm, and a radius of curvature of about 11.6 μm. The resulting structures exhibit relatively smooth surfaces and regular profiles. The average volumetric shrinkage is about 8.98%. The maximum relative deviations in diameter and height are approximately 1.7% and 1.5%, respectively. These results demonstrate that dome-shaped MLAs can be fabricated by combining UV laser direct writing with thermal reflow under the present process conditions.
